Topic: zoneminder on SME7

[bradleyj00]

Just wondering if anyone has any recent installation documentation for zoneminder. I've noticed a couple of posts in older forums, however I'm thinking they may no longer be relevant.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim

I have it installed on SuSE myself as ZoneMinder needs alot of tweaking and additional packages including gcc.

It can be done on SME but I haven't attempted myself. Maybe you could update one of those how tos ?

Moving this topic to the SME 7.x contribs forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!

Thanks to chaapai contrib. (love your work) this works for me, though it does need updating.

Install SME Server 7 Pre1(hope the iso is still out there) and Zoneminder 1.21.4 contrib

[root@yourserver zoneminder]# ./install.sh

save and exit

Run yum update and have your coffee
